Happy 25th, My Alhaja
You are different. Really different. And it's almost surreal how good you have been to me.
I cannot be grateful enough for you coming into my life. You showed me love, care and affection without holding back at all — not even for a single day since we started talking. Sometimes, I feel like I don't even deserve you.
You've shown me love in a way I can place behind only the love of my mother. You are just so perfect — from your smile, to your big heart.
(Except your hairline sha, you're cooked 🥀😂)
25 things that make you, you
These are not just nice words that popped into my head — I have an example for every single one. They came from a deep place, and I mean every one.
You always find your way around things. You really are a problem solver.
You've got brains, baby girllll. God blessed you with it, my doccccc 😌
Sometimes I almost get mad at how hard you push yourself lmaooo 😭
They should hang you up cos you're an artifact. (I stole this line from Stormzy 🙈)
You own everywhere you step into. You're HER. Period.
You've got dreams. And you actually chase them. That's not common.
You handle everything about us with gentleness. You show by your actions and your words that you cherish us.
Everything about you is soft. Everything 🌚
You are a good person. Can't say that enough.
You put others first before yourself. God bless you for that.
My odogwresss, nobody chop your money reach me 🙈😂
Your energy is contagious. You walk in and the whole room shifts.
You always know what to say to get me going ❤️
You are always learning, always asking, always wanting to understand more. It's one of my favourite things about you.
You have a place for everything — in your space and in your mind. It's honestly impressive.
You are gifted in ways you probably do not even fully see yet. I see them.
The little things you do, the little ways you show up — so, so sweet.
You say things beautifully. Your words — spoken and written — always land exactly right.
You don't bottle things up. You say how you feel, you show how you feel — and that makes loving you so easy.
You are always looking to be better. Always evolving. It pushes me to do the same.
You believe in me more than I believe in myself sometimes. That is a rare gift.
You show up. Every time, in every way — practically and emotionally. Always.
The way you love is different. Full, intentional, and without condition. I feel it every day.
You are just soooo cute. The way little things make you so happy — I could watch that forever.
Your happiness is contagious. I pray God never dims that light. Ever.

Count them — that's 25 😌
Our Journey
Let me tell you a secret: I spent the night thinking about the little moment we spent together 🌚. And the trip back home, hmm 🤭.
Singing together in the car, talking about random things… annoying you, and yess, holding handssss.
Even though I do most of it, but I enjoy cooking for you 😒 — remember that peppered ponmo? 😂
Talking about goals, plans, dreams — the future. The not so good moments too… I cherish every moment with you.
Before you were even supposed to travel — just because I wasn't feeling well. That is the kind of person you are. That day, I knew.
You talked about it two months before. You curated a present, penned down the most beautiful notes I have ever read in my life, woke up so early to bring them to me — and you even prayed for my mother in your notes. I love you for that. I really do.
From my heart, to yours
You have always been there for me — practically and emotionally. You want the best for me and you always push me to do better. You believe so much in me, more than I believe in myself.
God bless your Mom for raising such a wonderful young woman. And God bless you for choosing to be a good person, inside and out. Because goodness like yours is a choice, every single day — and you choose it every time.
Being with you feels like home. You are family-oriented, loved at home, and you love the people at home fiercely. That makes me feel so safe with you. (Lines dey cry 😭)
I see you. Even the littlest things — I appreciate them and I am deeply grateful. I really cannot thank you enough for how good you have been to me. I am in fact shedding a little tear writing this.
You really deserve the best things in the world — and I'm not saying it the way people just say it. You actually do. Genuinely.
— Forever yours 💜
Why I added these pictures?
Every picture tells a story I will always cherish.
My prayers for you
May God answer all your prayers and grant you every desire of your heart.
May you achieve every single one of your goals and live your dreams fully.
May God illuminate your path and give you clarity in all your endeavors.
May God grant you happiness that lasts forever — may you always have a reason to smile.
May you never know a better yesterday. Every new day, brighter than the last.
May God grant you and your loved ones a long life in good health.
May you reach your full potential and become everything you are meant to be.
May no evil befall you. May God's protection be over you in all your steppings, my sweetheart.
May God never dim your spark, never take away your golden heart, and never steal your happiness.
I really wanted to make you happy and make this day memorable for you, like you did for me. I promise to make it up to you — every bit of it.
Thank you for coming into my life. Thank you for showing me love that knows no bound. Thank you for being so good to me in ways I never expected and will never forget.
I love you. I really do. 💜
Ramadan Kareem, Habibti 🌙
May this season bring its blessings and peace to you.
